Who is The Hanna SPCA Pet Rescue and Shelter?
We are a charity organization & volunteer group dedicated to animal welfare, dignity and their protection from suffering. We were founded in February 2005, incorporated as a society in October 2005, became a registered Charity on June 1, 2009. We rely entirely on donations & volunteers and are always looking for motivated people and donations of time, supplies or funds. We received calls on a daily basis regarding lost or found animals. We accept surrendered dogs from the town that haven't found their home or owners. We have a 100% success rate - we have not had to euthanize any animals. Click here to download our bylaws.
Where Do You Keep The Animals?
We have a facility, run by volunteers, where we can house and care for animals while they are awaiting adoption. We also have foster homes with caring families around Hanna. We prefer fostering the animals as the are getting 24 hour care and love and adapt better to a new home if they have been trained by a foster family.
Why should I spay or neuter my animals?
Every year thousands of animals are euthanized in shelters across the nation. With so many animals coming in to shelters daily, it's impossible to find homes for all of them. Please join Hanna SPCA in their effort to educate the citizens of Hanna on the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. It's important to have your pets spayed or neutered by the time they reach sexual maturity, around 6 months of age. There are so many benefits to spaying and neutering your pets which include:
• it helps pets live longer
• it makes pets more affectionate companions
• pets are less likely to fight
• spaying/neutering reduces the urge to roam
• it stops males from marking their territory
• neutered pets have fewer behavior problems
• it's cheaper than caring for a litter
• neutering prevents the birth of unwanted puppies/kittens
• and the number one reason...IT SAVES INNOCENT ANIMALS LIVES!
